Some background, I have played Elden Ring on repeat, starting over every 2 years since it came out, on a playthrough now. I have NEVER beaten it, I always get to the Fire Giant and burn the tree then lose interest for some reason, or more accurately maybe get burnt out.

My current build is making things a bit easier for me, and it looks like I am finally gonna beat the game this time (goin Duskborn after a failed Age of Stars and separate Frenzied Flame run).

I am worried that if I go into the DLC before I beat the game, I will lose interest. Same goes for once I become Elden Lord.

I want to try Convergence for everything new it adds, and I have heard it is like playing a third Elden Ring DLC.

Should I wait to try the DLC until I play Convergence for a fresh experience and something "new", which is what I crave, or try and get through it twice?

Y'all think it's possible to learn how to merge mods through smithbox by using AI (such as GPT or Claude). I just got interested in learn how to do it, but since I have no idea where to start, I was thinking about using AI to teach me.

I got the Mod Running, but i can't Dodge, use items or 2 hand or switch Weapons. The B button works in the menu but not for dodges. Keyboard also doesn't work for those actions. Anyone got a Solution?

(convergence) I reached 99 vig and my character just started glowing. does anyone know why

I'm playing Retainer of that has any has anything to do with it

Hi! I’m using FLVER Editor and WitchyBND for the first time. I’m trying to add a layer to a tabard—everything goes fine until I add the layer, but the shoulder area ends up with "cuts" (clipping/gaps) caused by the tabard underneath. I’ve attached an example photo.

Could someone help me and explain how to fix this? I’ve already tried unchecking the "InvisibleFlags" in the regulation file, but the issue persists. I’m a bit of a novice with these programs and have run out of ideas!
